Abstract:
Durant ce travail de thèse, les propriétés structurelles et photoniques des metallophosphonates luminescents hybrides ont été étudiées en abordant le rôle de leur structure dans les propriétés luminescentes. Les métallophosphonates possèdent différentes coordinations chimiques montrant leurs capacités à former plusieurs centres métalliques ainsi qu’une forte liaison chimique de type P-O-M. L’objective de ce travail est l’étude des matériaux hybrides organiques-inorganiques luminescents dont le composant organique offre une plateforme solide facilement amovible avec divers groupes fonctionnels. Cette étude s’articule sur différents metallophosphonates hybrides synthétisés par voie hydrothermale à l’aide de ligands organiques tels que le fluorène, le thianthrène et l’acide phosphonique avec des éléments alcalino-terreux (Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) et des métaux de transitions (Mn, Co, Cu, Zn). Ces derniers ont été obtenus en manipulant la nature de la molécule, le nombre de groupes fonctionnels et les propriétés cationiques au sein de la structure. Grace à leurs caractéristiques liés à leurs différents arrangements structurels, les matériaux synthétisés montrent diverses propriétés, notamment la rigidité et la stabilité thermique. De plus, ces matériaux montrent des propriétés de luminescences intéressantes tel que la fluorescence, phosphorescence à température ambiante (PTA), les déplacements bathochrome et hypsochrome, l’émission de type excimère ainsi que l’apparition de nouvelles bandes de luminescence rouge et verte pour certains cations spécifiques. Enfin, la variation des propriétés de composés hybrides en fonction de la structure est discutée, en tenant compte le phénomène d’émission induite par Agrégation (AIE) et d’émission améliorée par agrégation (AEE)This thesis work systematically investigates the structural and photophysical properties of rare-earth-free metallophosphonate hybrid luminescent materials, emphasizing the role of structure in luminescent properties. Metallophosphonates demonstrate exceptional versatility with their coordination chemistry, highlighted by their ability to interact with multiple metal centers and form robust P-O-M metal bonds. We aim to study crystalline organic-inorganic hybrid luminescent materials in which the organic part provides a rigid platform which is easily modifiable with various functional groups. we present various metallophosphonate hybrids synthesized through the hydrothermal route using functionalized organic ligands such as Fluorene, Thianthrene, and Tetraphenylethylene (TPE) phosphonic acid with different alkaline-earth elements (Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) and transition elements (Mn, Co, Cu, Zn). Different metallophosphonate materials are obtained by manipulating the nature of molecules, the number of functional groups, and the characteristics of cations in the structure. Due to that, the synthesized metallophosphonate hybrid materials exhibit diverse structural properties, including rigidity, thermal stability, and different arrangements like face-to-face or edge-to-face and herringbone stacking patterns. Furthermore, these materials display intriguing luminescent properties, such as Fluorescence, Room Temperature Phosphorescence (RTP), Bathochromic and Hypsochromic shift (red and blue shift), Excimer emission, and other novel green and red luminescence bands, particularly in the presence of specific cations. Lastly, we discuss and explore the interconnection between structural and physical properties including the phenomena of Aggregation Induced Emission (AIE) and Aggregation Enhanced Emission (AEE) for hybrid compounds

Abstract:
The structural design, synthesis and characterization of luminogens with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties are studied in this thesis. The remarkable emission properties, thermal stability and biocompatibility of the AIE-active materials demonstrate the promising applications in bioimaging and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).;Chapter 1 introduces the existence of aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect in most conventional organic dyes as well as phosphorescent transitional metal complexes. Discovery of AIE and its mechanical study allow further exploration of usage in organic luminescent materials. This chapter also gives some examples and the applications these AIE-active compounds.;In Chapter 2, a series of cyanostilbenes with simple electron donor (D)-p-electron acceptor (A) structure are presented and synthesized. They exhibit remarkable AIE effect as well as deep red emission peak in 95 % water fraction in THF. These results indicate that attachment of these electron acceptors provides alternative strategy for designing highly emissive AIE-active materials.;In Chapter 3, strongly emissive cyanostilbenes with phenothiazine unit are designed and synthesized. This chapter also investigates the effect of substituents in phenothiazine and terminal cyanostilbene on the photophysical properties and AIE effect. The results suggest that they are AIE-active with different sizes in nano-aggregates. Furthermore, these dyes exhibit clear and strong fluorescence in live cell imaging with excellent biocompatibility.;In Chapter 4, a series of AIE-active phosphorescent Pt(II) complexes made up of C^N^C tridentate ligands are designed and synthesized. They exhibit different morphologies and emission properties upon aggregation in 90 % water in acetonitrile although similar tridentate ligands are applied. One of the complexes in this chapter show nano-rod formation with the highest quantum efficiency in aggregated state, suggesting that rapid self-assembly process occurs to prevent non-radiative decay and oxygen quenching.;In Chapter 5, a series of bis-cyanostyryl fluorophores are designed and synthesized. They are emissive in solid state with colour range from orange to NIR region. Furthermore, they are AIE-active and some of them may contain hybridized local and charge transfer (HLCT) excited state to achieve highly efficient emission upon solvatochromic investigation. Some bis-cyanostyryl thiophenes are fabricated in OLED devices show deep-red to NIR emission, indicative of a promising way to design solid-state NIR-emissive compounds using bis-cyanostyryl derivatives.;Finally, Chapter 6 and 7 present the concluding remarks and the experimental details of the work in Chapters 2 to 5, respectively.

Abstract:
The concept of "aggregation-induced emission" (AIE) effect has induced a great deal of attention these days. Now, exploration of new AIE-active molecular system and multiple high technique applications for AIE materials are the two research hotspots. Cyanostilbene, as a classical structural unit in photoelectric functional materials, also exhibited this unique luminescence behavior. The research background was illustrated in Chapter 1, which mainly introduced the development of this subject. In this project, Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 presented two classes of functionalized AIE-active molecules based on cyanostilbene moiety, and their applications were investigated, while Chapter 4 demonstrated a series of donor-acceptor (D-A) molecules with highly emissive unit, and their photophysical properties were studied.;In Chapter 2, four different donor-substituted cyanostilbene-based dipyrrins were synthesized and characterized. The investigation of photophysical properties confirms that these molecules are AIE-active, which should be attributed to the cyanostilbene moiety. The introduction of different donor groups showed little impact on their luminescence. Furthermore, the emission properties of these molecules were found to be sensitive to Zn2+, that is, addition of Zn2+ enormously enhanced its fluorescence in THF. The titration experiments proved they showed good selectivity and sensitivity for Zn2+ detection with relatively low limit of detection. Job's curve and spectral studies of their corresponding zinc complex indicated that the ratio for dipyrrins and Zn2+ is 2:1, which suggested the formation of zinc complex by chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) effect should be the reason of the enhanced fluorescence. By combining dipyrrin with typical AIE-active moiety tetraphenylethylene (TPE), an AIE-active TPE-based dipyrrin was prepared. The studies of its fluorogenic Zn2+ detection confirmed that the CHEF effect together with AIE effect are responsible for the intense fluorescence, indicating the potential application as a Zn2+ detector in aqueous media.;In Chapter 3, the cyanostilbene backbone was functionalized with a terpyridine unit to construct four terpyridine-based cyanostilbene molecules with different donor substitutents. The investigation of their photophysical properties confirms that they are AIEE-active. With the effect of different electron-donating groups, their solid-state fluorescence color was adjusted from blue to orange-red successfully. According to the calculation results of their frontier molecular orbitals, terpyridine has little impacts on their luminescence, but would influence their solid-state emission obviously owing to its large steric hindrance. This class of molecules displayed higher luminescence efficiency in solid state than in their dissolved state. The twisted molecular conformation in single crystal, which effectively avoids close π-π stacking, was assumed to be responsible for the high luminescence efficiency in solid state. This kind of molecules show distinct switched fluorescence by stimuli of acid/base vapors, and this phenomenon derives from the protonation effect of nitrogen atoms in the terpyridine unit. Moreover, three of these molecules exhibit good electroluminescence properties. Especially, the crystal of non-donor substituted molecule show amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) properties, indicating this blue-emissive material can be used in multiple areas such as chemical sensor, organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic laser media.

Abstract:
The molecular design, synthesis, spectroscopic and photophysical characterization of a series of cyanostilbene-based compounds are studied in this thesis. The thermal, electrochemical and aggregation induced emission (AIE) properties of these cyanostilbene-based compounds, as well as their application in organic lighting-emitting diodes, live cell imaging, chemical vapor sensor were investigated. Chapter 1 gives a brief introduction on the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) behavior of the conventional organic luminogens and the discovery and proposed mechanism of AIE phenomenon. Furthermore, some examples and the applications of these AIE compounds will be discussed. In Chapter 2, triphenylamine- and carbazole-containing cyanostilbene-based derivatives are presented. From the examination of the emission profile, they are all AIE-active through comparison of the photoluminescence intensity in dissolved and in aggregated states. Additionally, the calculation of the enhancement ratio (I/I0 – 1) of each fluorophore was performed in order to quantify its AIE effect. One of our cyanostilbene-based luminogens has achieved an enhancement ratio with a value of 1128. This cyanostilbene-based luminogens has also shown good performance in OLED investigation. In addition to the OLEDs application, the selected cyanostilbene-based luminogens with solid-state emission, cell-permeability and reversible switch-on/off capability have illustrated the positive result in live-cell imaging and chemical vapor sensing. Conjugated polymer with high molecular weight is the superior option by overcoming the weaknesses of low-molecular-weight luminogens with excellent thin-film form ability and comparatively simple and inexpensive fabrication processes. The design and synthesis of the cyanostilbene-based polymeric chromophores are described in Chapter 3. The polymerization of the AIE-active diacetylene ligands by connection of trans-[Pt(PBu3)2] unit at both ends has successfully retained their AIE behavior. In contrast, the ACQ problem has occurred on the polymers with organic spacers and the AIE-active ligands. From the DFT calculation on the Pt polymers and the blue shift of emission spectra in high water content suggested that the AIE phenomenon of Pt polymers is probably originated from the elimination of the non-radiative intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) process. Owing to the high demand in red-emitting materials in the applications of electroluminescent devices, fluorescent sensing and bio-imaging, effort has been made to design a system with the new chromophores with donor (D) – acceptor (A) system and thus to synthesize phenothiazine (D)-containing cyanostilbene (A)-based derivatives which are depicted in Chapter 4. Consistent with the conventional AIE-active luminogens with a successively climb of photoluminescence intensities in response to the increase of water proportion, phenothiazine-containing cyanostilbene-based derivatives has exhibited a V-shape fashion of emission intensity. It suggests that the emission of chromophores started to be quenched due to the increase of solvent polarity, overriding that of the molecular aggregation when a “small” volume of water is being introduced. While aggregate formation was dominant from the addition of a “large” amount of poor solvent, less polar local environment was created which suppressed the non-radiative transition to the ICT state and intensified the emission efficiency. Phenothiazine (D) – cyanostilbene (A) system has created a series of red-emitting chromophores with great tunability for the sake of achieving the desired emission color and better emission efficiency. To functionalize these AIE-active cyanostilbene-based chromophores, pyridine group was attached to the compounds to take the advantage of its metal-chelating capability, which is discussed in Chapter 5. The AIE features of cyanostilbene-based compounds can be preserved after the introduction of the pyridyl unit. Even it possessed a weak photoluminescence in its dilute solution which suggest that the high electron delocalization within the molecule has rigidified the structure to some extent, it is transformed to a highly emissive state with a high proportion of water. The exclusive variation of emission behavior with obvious bathochromic shift and boost of emission spectrum in the presence of cadmium-(II) ion has demonstrated its potential metal ion sensing ability. Chapter 6 and 7 present the concluding remarks and the experimental data of the compounds of Chapter 2 to 5, respectively.

Abstract:
La première partie de ces travaux de thèse concerne la synthèse d’acides aminés phosphole par formation d’une liaison P-C. Les propriétés de fluorescence (absorption, émission et rendement quantique) sont modulées à la fois par les différents substituants présents sur le phosphore (BH3, O, S…) ainsi que par le squelette aromatique du phosphole. Des couplages peptidiques modèles réalisés en solution et sur support solide démontrent la possibilité d’intégrer ces acides aminés dans des peptides d’intérêts. La deuxième partie concerne la synthèse de nouveaux phospholes fonctionnalisés ainsi que d’une nouvelle méthode d’accrochage pour les introduire sur différents groupes pendants (SH, NH2, OH) d’acide aminés et peptides via la formation de liaisons P-S, P-N ou P-O. La troisième partie de ce travail a consisté en la synthèse d’une nouvelle classe d’acides aminés tétraphénylsilole fluorescents qui présentent des propriétés d’AIE (aggregation-induced emission) et pourront être utilisés pour le marquage de peptides d’intérêtsThe first part of this work is focused on phospholyl amino acids synthesis by formation of a P-C bond. The fluorescent properties (absorption, emission and quantum yield) are modulated either by the substituent on the phosphorus atom (BH3, O, S, …) or by the aromatic skeleton of the phosphole. Peptide coupling in solution or on solid support were performed and showed the possibility to introduce such amino acids into peptide of interest. The second part of this work is dedicated to the synthesis of new functionalized phospholes for a chemoselective grafting on amino acid and peptides pendant groups (SH, NH2, OH) via PS, P-N or P-O bonds. The third part consists into the synthesis of a new class of tetraphenylsilole amino acids which exhibit AIE (aggregation-induced emission) fluorescent properties. Those compounds were successfully incorporated into di- an tri- peptides in solution and on solid support

Dong, Lei. "Conception et synthèse de glyco-sondes fluorescentes pour des applications en détection." Thesis, Lyon, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019LYSE1153/document.
Abstract:
Avec le progrès scientifique et les besoins sociétaux, diverses méthodes de détection spécifiques et sensibles des métaux, des protéines et d’autres biomolécules sont largement utilisées dans la protection de l’environnement, la surveillance des maladies, la pharmacothérapie, la production agricole, l’industrie et d’autres domaines importants. Les sondes fluorescentes sont largement développées sur la base des phénomènes de transfert d’énergie (ICT, PET, FRET) et appliquées par exemple à la détection de contaminants ou à l'imagerie cellulaire. Mais l’effet d’agrégation (ACQ) atténue généralement l’intensité de la fluorescence et limite ainsi les applications de sondes organiques (souvent peu solubles dans l’eau) dans l’imagerie cellulaire et les systèmes vivants. Par conséquent, le concept d'« agregated induced emission » (AIE) représente une solution à ces problèmes d’agrégation et plusieurs glycoclusters, glyco-sondes et glyco-complexes fluorescents ont été conçus et reportés pour des applications en analyse biologique. Notre premier projet visait à concevoir et à synthétiser des glyco-polymères fluorescents pour le ciblage cellulaire et l’adressage de médicaments, tandis que la fluorescence permettrait la détection des cellules ciblées. Pour surmonter l'effet ACQ et les interférences provenant de la fluorescence biologique naturelle, nous avons conjugué le dicyanométhylène-4H-pyrane (DCM) et le tétraphényléthène (TPE) afin d'obtenir des sondes fluorescentes (AIE) émettant dans le proche infrarouge. Les glycosides ont fourni une bonne solubilité dans l'eau et l'auto-assemblage a conduit à des systèmes de détection et à une imagerie des cellules cancéreuses. Les glyco-polymères à base de TPE ont été synthétisés à partir de monomères de TPE incorporant deux monosaccharides par conjugaison azide-alcyne (CuAAC) et ces monomères ont été polymérisés par des réactions de CuAAC ou thiol-ène. Les glyco-polymères à base de TPE ne présentaient malheureusement pas une assez grande longueur de chaîne (généralement moins de 7 unités) et les propriétés fluorescentes attendues ne pouvaient donc pas être atteintes. Nous avons ensuite conçu et synthétisé des glyco-dots auto-assemblés par des sondes DCM et des glycoclusters à base de TPE. Les glyco-dots ont présenté une hydrosolubilité élevée et une réponse sélective au peroxynitrite (ONOO-) à la fois in vitro et dans des analyses cellulaires. Les glyco-dots pourraient détecter ONOO- endogène et exogène, mais sans reconnaissance cellulaire spécifique. Nous avons conçu et synthétisé des sondes fluorescentes AIE pouvant s'auto-assembler avec des glycoclusters à base de TPE. Les glyco-dots résultants étaient facilement solubles dans l'eau et présentaient une sensibilité et une sélectivité excellentes pour la détection du thiophénol in vitro et dans des échantillons d'eau environnementaux.Nous avons finalement combiné les deux fragments TPE et DCM pour synthétiser un nouveau fluorophore AIE (TPE-DCM) avec émission à longue longueur d'onde. Ensuite, la conjugaison avec des glycosides par CuAAC a conduit à des sondes AIE fluorescentes à émission de longue longueur d'onde, avec une excellente solubilité dans l'eau. Une application à la détection de glycosidases in vitro et dans des dosages cellulaires ou sur des modèles animaux a été possible avec ces sondesWith scientific and social progress, various methods for the specific and sensitive detection of metals, proteins and other biomolecules are widely utilized in environmental protection, disease surveillance, drug therapy, agricultural production, industry and other significant areas. Fluorescent probes are widely developed based on ICT, PET, FRET and other fluorescence mechanisms, and applied to the detection of contaminants or in cell imaging. But the ACQ effect usually quenched the fluorescence intensity and thus limited the applications of organic probes in cell imaging and living systems. Therefore, the concept of aggregated-induced emission (AIE) appears as a possible solution to these problems and several fluorescent glycoclusters, glyco-probes and glyco-complexes were designed and reported for biological analysis. Our first project aimed to design and synthesize fluorescent glyco-polymers with multiple glycosides for cell targeting and drug delivery while fluorescence will allow the detection of the targeted cells. To overcome the ACQ effect and interference from natural biological background fluorescence, we conjugated dicyanomethylene-4H-pyran (DCM) and tetraphenylethene (TPE) to obtain near-infrared AIE fluorescent probes. The glycosides provided good water solubility and self-assembly in water led to detection systems and imaging cancer cells. TPE-based glycopolymers were synthesized from TPE monomers incorporating two monosaccharides by CuAAC conjugation and these monomers were polymerized by either CuAAC or thiol-ene “click” reactions. The TPE-based glycopolymers did not display a large chain length (typically less than 7 units) and the expected fluorescent properties could not be reached. We then designed and synthesized glyco-dots self-assembled by DCM probes and TPE-based glycoclusters. The glyco-dots displayed high water-solubility and selective response to peroxynitrite (ONOO-) both in vitro and in cell assays. The glyco-dots could detect endogenous and exogenous ONOO- but no specific cell recognition. We designed and synthesized AIE fluorescent probes which could self-assemble with TPE-based glycoclusters. The resulting glyco-dots were readily water soluble and displayed excellent sensitivity and selectivity for thiophenol detection in vitro and in environmental water samples. We finally combined both TPE and DCM moieties to synthesize a novel AIE fluorophore (TPE-DCM) with long-wavelength emission. Then conjugation with glycosides through CuAAC led to AIE fluorescent probes with long-wavelength emission, excellent water-solubility. Application to the detection of glycosidases in vitro and in cell assays or animal models was possible with these probes

Abstract:
The present research has been aimed on the synthesis and to the electrochemical and photophysical investigation of the HeteroArylEthene class constituted by the DiThienylEthene DTE, TriThienylEthene TrTE, TetraThienylEthene TTE, DiFurylEthene DFE, TriFurylEthene TrFE and TetraFurylEthene TFE. The study includes as a benchmark the analogous phenyl-based series which was already well known concerning the synthesis the photophysical properties and the applications. A very limited knowledge was so far available concerning the heteroaryl-based ethenes. Among the investigated systems, TFE and TrTE are entirely new compounds and have been never investigated before; the other structures had already been reported in literature but only obtained by McMurry coupling, while in this work we have proposed a convenient alternative approach (besides significantly improving the McMurry protocol). Moreover, a deep electrochemical and photophysical characterization was still lacking; as a consequence, the highly interesting electrochemical and photoluminescence properties remained concealed until the study performed in this PhD research work, by which interesting features have been unearthed. In particular the investigate molecules have shown efficient π-conjugation emission and electropolymerization ability and the excellent property of the luminescence in solid state. So besides performing a detailed electrochemical investigation of the synthesized family members in terms of redox properties and electrooligomerization ability, we particularly concentrated on their photophysical investigation in terms of Aggregation-Induced Emission features. The latter has been performed in a seven-month stage at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, in the laboratories of Professor Ben Zhong Tang, the discoverer of the AIE phenomenon. The results obtained are of high interest and applicative potential. Thus systematic study performed in this thesis now provides a deep knowledge about the heteroarylethene properties which can allow to properly design more complex systems in which these scaffold could be used as starting block. In addition, their unique property of emitting light in solid but not in solution, renders them even more appealing, as small single molecule to be employed in hi-tech applications.

Abstract:
Les recherches sur le photovoltaïque organique depuis une dizaine d’année ont permis une constante progression de l’efficacité des cellules solaires. Plusieurs groupes de recherche ont amorcé une réflexion sur les procédés de synthèse qui permettraient de limiter les déchets. Ainsi le couplage par arylation directe qui évite l’utilisation de dérivés organométalliques a émergé comme alternative au couplage organométallique classique. Une première partie est consacrée à l’étude méthodologique du couplage par arylation directe de la triphénylamine avec des dérivés du thiophène-2- carboxaldéhyde substitués en C3 et C4 par des groupements électro-accepteurs et électro-donneurs. Ce motif de base permet l’accès à trois séries de petites molécules par simple condensation. Des cellules photovoltaïques atteignant des rendements de photo-conversion de 3% en cellules bicouches, ont été obtenues. Dans une deuxième partie, la polymérisation par arylation directe sur des monomères du thiophène substitué par des groupements nitriles comme accepteur et des groupements alcoxy ou thioalkyl comme donneur conduit en une seule étape à une nouvelle famille de polymères conjugués. Ces polymères ont été utilisés comme matériaux donneurs et accepteur dans des cellules. Enfin en dernière partie, un travail exploratoire sur les propriétés d’émission de dérivés du benzofurane a été entrepris. Des réactions de condensation de Knoevenagel ont été développées pour obtenir toute une série de dérivés contenant l’unité cyano-vinylbenzofurane. La plupart des composés présente une forte émission à l’état solideResearch on organic photovoltaics over a decade allowed a steadily increasing in the efficiency of solar cells. Several research groups have begun a reflection on the synthesis processes to limit wastes. Thus the direct arylation coupling which avoids the use of organometallic compounds, has emerged as an example of green reaction. The first part is devoted to the methodological study of direct arylation of bromotriphenylamine with thiophene-2-carboxaldehyde derivatives substituted in C3 and C4 by electron-withdrawing groups and electron-donor groups. This basic pattern allows access to three small molecules by condensation. Photovoltaic cells reaching photoconversion efficiencies of 3% were obtained. In the second part, the polymerization by direct arylation of sustituted thiophene monomers by nitrile groups as the acceptor and by alkoxy or thioalkyl as the donor led in one step to a novel family of conjugated polymers having donor and acceptor groups alternately. Solar cells were made with the polymers as donors or as acceptors materials. Finally, in the last part, exploratory work on the emission properties of benzofuran derivatives have been made. Knoevenagel condensations have been developed for a range of compounds containing the cyano-vinylbenzofuran unit. Most compounds have high emission in the solid state

Abstract:
Luminogens are molecules that emit light upon exposure to high-energy light, and fluorophores are one class of luminogens. Applications of fluorophores range from microviscosity sensors to light emitting diodes (LEDs), as well as biosensors, just to name a few. Many of these applications require the fluorophore to be in the aggregate or solid state. Some fluorophores become highly emissive in the aggregate state; these fluorophores are aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogens. Currently, very few quantum mechanical mechanisms have been proposed to describe the unique AIE behavior of luminogens.
Boron difluorohydrazone (BODIHY) dyes are a new type of AIE fluorophore. The bright emission is from the S>1 excited state (“anomalous” emission) contrary to Kasha’s Rule. Thus, the mechanism Suppression of Kasha’s Rule (SOKR) was proposed to be responsible for the family of BODIHY dyes. We hypothesize that the SOKR mechanism can explain AIE as well as the anomalous emission of other fluorophores. New BODIHY derivatives (para-CO2H BODIHY, aluminum difluorohydrazone (ALDIHY), and paranitro ALDIHY) were predicted to be bright anomalous fluorophores through density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) investigations. In addition, a series of anomalous fluorophores were investigated to determine if their photophysical properties could be explained by the SOKR mechanism (azulene, 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5hexatriene, and zinc tetraphenylporphyrin). Finally, several triazolopyridinium and triazoloquinolinium dyes were computationally investigated by DFT and TDDFT calculations, and an accurate computational model for the large Stokes shifts of these dyes was developed. In conclusion, a better understanding of the photophysical properties through DFT and TDDFT modeling and spectroscopic investigation of hydrazone-based fluorophores has been achieved.
In addition, the metal active sites and cofactors of metalloproteins were probed by optical spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and DFT modeling. In conjunction, these techniques can be used to elucidate the electronic structure responsible for the unique function of these metalloproteins. Specifically, a novel ironsulfur cluster of a metalloprotein that may be involved in endospore formation of Clostridium difficile, CotA, was characterized by magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopy. We propose that CotA contains a high-spin [4Fe-4S] cluster and a Rieske [2Fe-2S] cluster. It appears that the multimerization of the protein is related to the cluster conversion at the interface of monomeric subunits where two [2Fe-2S] clusters combine to form the [4Fe-4S] cluster. In addition, a putative cobalamin acquisition protein from Phaeodactylum tricornutum, CBA1, was not expressed at sufficient concentrations in Escherichia coli for spectroscopic investigation. Finally, a new technique was developed using cobalt-59 NMR spectroscopy to better understand the nucleophilic character of cobalt tetrapyrroles, such as cobalamin (vitamin B12), as biological cofactors as well as synthetic catalysts. New insight into the electronic structure provides valuable information related to the mechanism of these metalloproteins.

Abstract:
The work centersaround perfluoroaryl azides (PFAAs), and theirability to undergo certain fast and robusttransformations. The chemistry was furtherappliedfor biomedical applications. The first section focuses on the azide-aldehyde-amine cycloaddition using PFAAs. Experimental and computational investigations uncovered a fast azide-enamine cycloaddition to form triazolines, which spontaneously rearrange into stable amidine products. In addition, this transformation was explored in the formulation of pure nanodrugs. Because this reaction can introduce a phenyl and a perfluoroaryl moiety enabling supramolecular interactions near the antibiotic drug, the resulting ciprofloxacin derivatives formed nano-sized aggregates by precipitation, which displayed aggregation-induced emission for bacterial imaging as well as enhanced size-dependent antibacterial efficacy. In the second section, the high electrophilicity of PFAAs was explored to transform azides to aryl amides. The reactivity of PFAAs in the thioacid/azide reaction was studied. In addition, PFAAs were discovered to react with phenylacetaldehyde to form aryl amidesviaan azide-enol cycloaddition, similar tothe perfluoroaryl azide-aldehyde-amine reaction.This strategyof amide synthesiswas furthermoregeneralized through a combination of base-catalyzed azide-enolate cycloaddition reaction and acid-or heat-promoted rearrangement of triazolines. The last section describes a type of azide fluorogens whose fluorescence can be switched on by alight-initiated intramolecular nitrene insertion intoa C-H bond in the neighboring aromaticring. These fluorogenic structures were efficiently accessed via the direct nucleophilic aromatic substitution of PFAAs.QC 20150903

Abstract:
L’encapsulation dans des nanomatériaux de polymères de colorants ioniques à l’aide de contre-ions hydrophobes volumineux apparaît être une méthode très efficace pour générer des nanoparticules (NPs) fluorescentes ultra-brillantes pour la bioimagerie. Nous avons d’abord étendu cette approche par contre-ions aux colorants cyanine opérant dans la gamme du bleu au proche infra-rouge. A partir de NPs chargés en cyanines, une methode de code-barre multicolore pour le traçage cellulaire à long terme a été développé. Ensuite, le rôle des contre-ions hydrophobes volumineux dans l’auto-assemblage des colorants cationiques à l’intérieur des NPs de polymères a été étudié en testant une large collection d’anions. Nous avons montré qu’une forte hydrophobicité du contre-ion augmente l’encapsulation du colorant, régule son clustering et empêche l’agrégation de nanoparticules, alors qu’une grande taille empêche l’auto-inhibition de fluorescence. Enfin, nous avons introduit les contre-ions à base d’aluminates et de barbiturates, qui sur-performent les tetraphénylborates fluorés. Ce travail procure une base solide au concept d’émission et d’encapsulation augmentées par contre-ions pour la préparation de NPs chargés en colorants fluorescentsEncapsulation of ionic dyes with help of bulky hydrophobic counterions into polymer nanomaterials emerged as powerful method for generating ultrabright fluorescent nanoparticles (NPs) for bioimaging. Here, this counterion-based approach is extended to cyanine dyes, operating from blue to near-infrared range. Based on cyanine-loaded NPs, a multicolour cell barcoding method for long-term cell tracking is developed. Second, the role of bulky hydrophobic counterion in self-assembly of cationic dyes inside polymeric NPs is studied by testing a large library of anions. We show that high hydrophobicity of a counterion enhances dye encapsulation, prevents particle aggregation and tunes dye clustering, while large size prevents dyes from self-quenching. Third, counterions based on aluminates and barbiturates are shown to outperform fluorinated tetraphenylborates. This work provides a solid basis for counterion-enhanced encapsulation and emission concept in preparation of dye-loaded fluorescent NPs

Abstract:
Au cours de cette thèse, nous avons développé de nouveaux chromophores conjugués luminescents présentant une alternance de groupements donneurs et accepteurs, avec une attention particulière quant à leurs propriétés d’émission dans le rouge et proche infra-rouge à l’état solide ou agrégats. Nous avons étudié l’influence de la longueur de chaine et de la nature de la substitution donneur/accepteur non seulement sur les propriétés optiques en solution mais aussi (et surtout) sur le matériau agrégé. Enfin, en utilisant les propriétés spécifiques de certains des composés développés selon cette approche, nous avons exploré leur potentiel pour des applications allant de matériaux fluorochrome stimuli-responsifs (sous forme de films) à l’élaboration de sondes à deux photons émettant dans le proche infra rouge pour l’imagerie biologique. Les principaux accomplissements de cette thèse sont les suivant: 1/ de nouveaux polymères alternant des motifs triarylamine (ou carbazole)/ tetraphenylethylene (TPE) dans leur chaine principale ont été synthétisés. Leurs propriétés d’émission à l’état solide présentent des caractéristiques d’agrégats-J, peu courant dans les dérivés TPE, ce que nous attribuons à l’arrangement linéaire des chaînes polymères; 2/ Une nouvelle famille de colorants diphenylamine/benzobisthiazole et leurs dérivés oligomères ont été synthétisés. Leurs propriétés de luminescence présentent une sensibilité marquée à la protonation, que nous avons utilisée dans la conceptions de dispositifs luminescents commutables par stimuli acide/base; 3/Nous avons exploré la possibilité d’introduire des modifications chimiques complémentaires sur cette nouvelle famille de chromophores, afin d’obtenir des composés luminescents à l’état solide dans le proche infrarouge, en particulier par un changement de la nature de la transition électronique à transfert de charge intramoléculaire vers une transition cyanine, par le biais d’une quaternarisation des fonction benzobisthiazole. D’autres modifications ont conduit à une amélioration de la biocompatibilté des molécules, de leurs propriétés AIE, ou encore de leur spécificité de marquage cellulaire; 4/ Ces nouveaux composés présentent une luminescence photo-commutable (de type allumé/éteint), qui pourrait présenter un intérêt dans l’élaboration d’agents de contraste pour l’imagerie de microscopie super-résolueIn this thesis, we developed new luminescent conjugated chromophores presenting an alternation of electron donor and acceptor groups, with a specific focus on their emission properties in aggregates or solid states in far-red or near infrared region. We studied the influence of chain length and donor/acceptor substitution not only on the optical properties of the isolated compounds, but also (and especially) on the material in its aggregated state. Finally, taking advantages of these specific properties of some of the as-designed candidates, we explored their potential applications ranging from fluorochromic stimuli-responsive sensors (in film form) to red and NIR luminescent two-photon probes for biological imaging. The main achievements of this thesis are the following: 1) new alternating triarylamine or carbazole / tetraphenylethylene (TPE) polymers were synthesized. Their solid state luminescence poseeses typical J-aggregates emission features in solid state, unusual in TPE derivatives that we relate to the linear polymeric nature of the object; 2) A new family of diphenylamine / benzobisthiazole chromophores and derived oligomers were synthesized . Their luminescence properties present a marked sensitivity to protonation, which we took advantage of in the making of acid-base responsive luminescent devices; 3) we explored the possibility of additional chemical transformations of the newly designed chromophore, in order to achieve solid state NIR emission, in particular by means of a change in the character of the electronic transition from Intra-Molecular Charge Tranfer (ICT) to Cyanine transition owing to benzothiazole quaternarization. Other modifications resulted in improvement of their AIE properties, bioavailability and selectivity of their cellular compartments staining ability; 4) These new compounds present a reversible photoinduced “on-off” switching of their luminescence properties, which might present an interest in the design of contrast-agents for super resolution imaging

Abstract:
La conception de nano-objets biocompatibles pouvant être utilisés en microscopie à fluorescence présente un intérêt majeur. Dans cette optique, des chromophores ayant des structures leurs permettant d’une part, d’être actifs en absorption deux photons (A2P) et d’autre part, d’avoir une émission induite par l’agrégation (AIE), ont été synthétisés autour d’une base tétraphényléthylène (TPE) étendue. L’étude de l’influence de la stéréoconfiguration (Z ou E) de cette famille de molécules sur leurs auto-assemblage nous a permis d’établir un lien entre cristallinité et fluorescence des agrégats, et d’élaborer un nano-objet optimisé pour des applications d’imagerie in vitro et in vivo par microscopie de fluorescence à deux photons.Les mécanismes à l’origine des propriétés d’AIE des TPE, toujours débattus dans la littérature, ont pu être rationalisés par une étude photophysique détaillée rendue possible par l’élaboration d’une nouvelle méthode de RMN actinométrique. La fonctionnalisation d’un des chromophores par un bloc polymère hydrophile conduisant à un auto-assemblage sous forme micellaire en milieu aqueux a permis l’obtention de nano-objets luminescents d’un type nouveau, qui ont été utilisés comme sondes spécifique de l’ADN. Enfin, une nouvelle méthodologie de synthèse stéréosélective d’AIEgènes de la famille des ditriazolostilbène (DTS) a été proposée, ouvrant la voie à une ingénierie moléculaire polyvalente basée sur la cycloaddition azoture-alcyneThe design of biocompatible nano-objects used in fluorescence microscopy represents a major interest. In this perspective, chromophores with two-photon absorption (A2P) and aggregation induced emission (AIE) properties have been synthesized, derived from an extended tetraphenylethylene (TPE) base. The study of the influence of the stereoconfiguration (Z or E) of this family of molecules on their self-assembly established a link between crystallinity and fluorescence of the aggregates, and nano-objects were optimized for in vitro and in vivo imaging applications by two-photon fluorescence microscopy.The mechanisms behind the AIE properties of TPEs, still debated in the literature, have been rationalized by a detailed photophysical study made possible by the development of a new actinometric NMR method. The functionalization of one of the chromophores by a hydrophilic polymer block leading to a self-assembly in micellar form in aqueous medium was done to obtain luminescent nano-objects of a new type, which have been used as DNA specific probes. Finally, a new methodology for the stereoselective synthesis of AIEgens of the ditriazolostilbene (DTS) family was proposed, paving the way for versatile molecular engineering based on azide-alkyne cycloaddition

Restricted intramolecular rotation (RIR) of the non-coplanar aromatic fluorophores has been proven in several instances as the operative mechanism leading to the aggregation-enhanced emission (AEE) property. Besides using the bulky substituent as structural moiety of AEE-active materials, ionic bond interaction is also considered to be effective in reinforcing RIR. In this study, ionic ammonium sulfonate bond was used to introduce long chain orientation order and thus to impose effective RIR to generate emission enhancement on AEE-active organic fluorophores. With this aspect, a surfactant (surf) molecule of weakly-luminescent dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA) was used to complex to different amines of varied structures and certain diamines (piperazine (PZ) and poly(ethyleneimine (PEI)) with right geometry to generate orientated dodecyl chains in the ionic products result in the further emission intensifications of the complex systems. Additionally, long-chain dodecylamine (DA) was used to react with weakly-fluorescent biphenyldisulfonate (BPS) and poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS) to generate AEE-active materials with required orientation order and strong fluorescence due to the active RIR effect. An interesting aggregation-enhanced excimer emission (AEEE) was observed specifically for PSS(DA)1 complex system. Several complex systems (such as DBSA(PZ)x, DBSA(PEI)X, BPS(DA)x and PSS(DA)x ) were found to self-assemble into well-ordered supramolecular lamellar structures with the preferable orientation orders among their long aliphatic chains. RIR in relation to orientation order is therefore the main focus of this research.

In regards to the role of H-bond interaction as restriction forces on molecular rotation, we thereby explore further possibilities of using this facile strategy to generate AEE-active fluorescence systems with enhanced emissions. We used typical Heck coupling reaction to synthesis two different systems based on the facile H-bond interaction between H-bond donating hydroxyl and H-bond accepting pyridine functions are illustrated in this research. In chapter 2, an AEE-active dipyridine fluorophore was used to H-bond to monomeric diphenol (bisphenol A, BPA) and poly(vinyl phenol) (PVPh) to generate pseudo-linear and crosslinked systems, respectively, with beneficial AEE-active strong fluorescence. Instead of diphenol fluorophore, AEE-active diphenol compound was used in Chapter 3 as the fluorescent component to react with poly(vinylpyrrolidone) to generate peudo-crosslinked network with strong fluorescence. Both systems described in Chapter 2 and 3 are all subjected to different instrumentation analyses to identify the restricted molecular rations and the related enhanced emissions.

Abstract-1 A fluorescent biological sensor utilizing aggregation-enhanced emission (AEE) property was developed in our laboratory. First, anAIE-active fluorescent tetraphenylthiophene (TP) unit was synthetically connected to poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) by covalent and ionic bonds, resulting in the respective c- and i-TP-PNIPAM for the detection and quantification of the bovine serum albumin (BSA) model protein. When bind to BSA, the ionic i-TP-PNIPAM shows much better fluorescence (FL) sensitivity compared to c-TP-PNIP AM. The fluorescence (FL) intensity of i-TP-PNIAPM displays a good linear dependence on concentration of BSA (0 – 1 mg/mL), indicating quantitative fluorimetric protein detection can be achieved. Further addition of anionic surfactant ofsodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) considerably raised the FL intensity of the complexsolution. All the FL response was discussed in term of conformational freedom of the TP unit under different environmental constraints. Abstract-2 A water-soluble fluorophore containing four anionicsulfonated groups, sodium tetraphenylthiophenesulfonate (TPS), was sythesizedand characterized to have aggregation-enhanced emission (AEE) property. One the other hand, acidified Jeffamine (diammonium-terminated poly(propylene glycol) and Jeffamine-included β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) were separatedly prepared. Through the facile ionic interaction between sulfonate anion in TPS and ammonium cation in Jeffamine (or in Jeffamine-included β-CD), fluorescent ionic complex of iTP-JA (or iTP-CD-JA) can be prepared and their emission behavior was correlated with the degree of restricted intramolecular rotation (RIR), as the main mechanism responsible for AEE phenomenon, in each system of different molecular structures. When bind to polymeric Jeffamine, iTP-JA complex emits with higher intensity than the small-mass TPS. Use of β-CD rigidify the flexible Jeffamine, therefore, iTP-CD-JA complex is the most efficient emitter among all three samples.

Abstract - 1 Two tri-armed piezofluorochromic compounds of tris(4-(4-phenylquinolin-2-yl)phenyl)amine (TPA-3Qu) and tris(4-(6-(9H-carbazol-9yl)-4-phenylquinolin-2-yl)phenyl)amine (TPA-3QuCz) were prepared and found to exhibit keen fluorescence responses toward pressurization. With the framework of a twisted, pyramidal triphenylamine (TPA) center connecting to three large quinolinecarbazole (QuCz) arms, TPA-3QuCz is amorphous material exhibiting a large bathochromic shift of 112 nm under gentle grinding forces, which is in widely contrast to the small shift of 32 nm for TPA-3Qu when subjected to a high pressure load of 10 MPa. By heating to high temperatures, both TPA-3QuCz and TPA-3Qu also exhibited the same bathochromic shifts as pressurization did. Conformational transformations involving planarization of the arms were proposed to account for the observed fluorescence responses of TPA-3QuCz and TPA-3Qu towards pressure and heating. Abstract -2 In this study, organic molecules of 4,4''-((1E,1''E)-((3,4-diphenylthiophene-2,5-diyl)bis(4,1-phenylene))bis(ethene-2,1-diyl))dipyridine (TP-2Py) with smaller substituent and 4,4''-((1E,1''E)-((3,4-diphenylthiophene-2,5-diyl)bis(4,1-phenylene))bis(ethene-2,1-diyl))bis(N,N-diphenylaniline) (TP-2TPA) with stronger substituent were prepared and characterized to identify their photoluminescent (PL) responses toward the effect of aggregation emission enhancement (AEE). Comparing the fluorescence intensity for TP-2Py and TP-2TPA , no matter in the solid or solution state, the fluorescence of TP-2TPA is stronger than the TP-2Py. By the study influence of temperature on solution emissions of TP-2Py and TP-2TPA, and computer simulation, we realized the compound of TP-2TPA which could effective restriction on molecular rotation than the compound of TP-2Py. With the effector of effective restriction on molecular rotation, TP-2TPA can block the non-radiative energy loss, to enhance the efficiency of luminescence. In another way, we also blends with hydroxyl-containing components (poly( vinyl alcohol) (PVA)) on both compounds,TP-2Py and tp-2TPA,. After blending with the hydroxyl components, the fluorescence can be further intensified due to the further restricted molecular rotation, though the facile intermolecular hydrogen-bond (H-bond) interactions between the nitrogen containing heterocyclic and the hydroxyl functions.

First chapter: Tetraphenylthiophene (TP) with aggregation-enhanced emission (AEE) property was used as terminal fluorophore of the water-soluble poly(γ-propargyl-L-glutamate) (PPLG)-based polymers of TP-PPLG-g-MEO2. In this study, we research various TP-PPLG-g-MEO2 affect aggregation of luminescence. In water, when concentration of TP-PPLG-g-MEO2 achieve CMC, TP-PPLG-g-MEO2 will aggregation to nanoparticle and suddenly increasing emission, and when heating over LCST, TP-PPLG-g-MEO2 will contract and also enhance emission. We use TP-PPLG-g-MEO2 “salt out effect” property to probe salt in water, salt have interaction with side chain MEO2 and peptide main chain to make TP-PPLG-g-MEO2 contract together and change secondary structure to b-sheet conformation to enhance emission. In the strong alkaline media, TP-PPLG-g-MEO2 backbone change to random coil conformation that break intramolecular hydrogen bonding and loss LCST property, TP-PPLG-g-MEO2 become is a micelle like structure, core was hydrophobic TP and shell was hydrophilic polypeptide and particle size about 500nm measure by DLS. In random coil conformation, chain end hydrophobic TP have strong aggregation than in the a-helical and have strong aggregation emission peak. At last, we use TP-PPLG-g-MEO2 to detect BSA. When TP-PPLG-g-MEO2 mixture with BSA, TP-PPLG-g-MEO2 will fall in to BSA and separate to decrease TP-PPLG-g-MEO2 aggregation and emission. Second chapter: We synthesis polypeptide contain TPA pendent by click reaction. The resulting PPLG-g-TPA contains the crystalline TPA side groups, Tm about 145 oC and is therefore high Tg materials with the desired AIE activity. Due to side chain TPA, PPLG-g-TPA have piezofluorochromic property that have two color between crystal and amorphous state. The lone pair electrons of nitrogen atom in TPA side groups inherit PPLG-g-TPA the sensitivity toward acid HCl and metal ions. Emission of PPLG-g-TPA was progressively decreased upon increasing the amounts of HCl and metal ions in the solutions that can be acid or metal ions sensor.

Supramolecular self-assembly hydrogel materials is ubiquitous in materials science and biology. Self-assembly provides routes to a range of materials with regular structures. And others advantages to developed in this process. In this thesis, we developed the novel dipeptide supramolecular hydrogel with self-assembly gelation enhanced fluorescence emission. Tetraphenylethene (TPE) is almost non-emissive when molecularly dissolved in solution but turns to be highly fluorescent in aggregate states. The hydrogelator was constructed by using the TPE as the hydrophobic part and four different dipeptide (Gly-Gly、 Ser-Ser、 Asp-Asp and Tyr-Asp) as the hydrophilic component. We investigated these amphiphilic low-moleculars weight of the gelation pH value, performance of rheology, morphology and optical properties of the AIE characteristics. Each of the luminophore hydrogels has received different interesting results: TPE-GG is the minimum molecular weight of TPE-capped peptide forms the supramolecular hydrogel. TPE-SS is the minimum molecular weight of TPE-capped peptide forms the supramolecular hydrogel under neutral condition. TPE-DD could form the hydrogel under the acid condition(pH value= 4.3) and could be a pH sensor. TPE-YD can form the strongest hydrgel under the acid condition(pH value= 4.3) and also can form stable hydrgel under neutral condition. TPE-SS and TPE-YD can form hydrogel under neutral condition. These materials are potentially useful for develop 3D cell culture in the future. TPE-DD could change the emission properties under different pH values, which may be promising a biomaterial as an active element of biosensors.

In this study, we focused on developing the newly organic molecules on the therapy and diagnosis of cancers. In the experiments, we synthesized some simple fluorescent organic molecules and enhanced their performances in the cells by the unique properties of Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE). First, we synthesized an asymmetric 1, 6-disubstituted naphthalene (NV-12P), which can generate particular reactive oxygen species to undergo type I photodynamic therapy under irradiation. Furthermore, this compound can specifically localize in mitochondria in cancer cells to exhibit selective dark cytotoxicity, and exhibit efficient photodamage in cancer cells due to intracellular bright spots. Results suggested that this compound can be a potential dual-toxic efficacy molecule. Additionally, a water-soluble pH sensor ADA was designed and synthesized based on the molecular design of photo-induced electron transfer (PET) and intramolecular charge transfer (ICT). The fluorescent emission response against a pH value located in the range of 3~6, which is suitable to label intracellular pH dependent microenvironments. Finally, we not only used ADA to identify intracellular pH gradients between different cell lines, but also developed ADA as a fluorescent molecule that labeled normal cells by the unique fluorescence intensity of ADA in normal cells, making it effective as the control group at the time of cancer diagnosis.

Abstract-1 New pyridine-terminated fluorophore of 4-[2-(9-Anthryl)vinyl]pyridine (AnPy) with intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties was synthesized and was blended with different amounts of polytyrosine (PTyr) through preferable hydrogen-bond (H-bond) interactions. In blends of low AnPy content, the rigid PTyr peptide chains serve as templates to H-bond to AnPys, imposing rotational restriction and reinforcing the AIE-related emission intensity of AnPys, resulting in amorphous blends with the observed glass transitions dependent on the composition of the blends. In contrast, when large amounts of AnPys were added, excess AnPys will form new crystals, in between the amorphous regions, constituted by the near parallel dimers of AnPys. With the hampered molecular rotation, the parallel dimers of AnPys in the highly AnPy-loaded blends emit strongly with intensity much higher than those for the amorphous blends. In this study, conformation of the blends and degree of restricted molecular rotation were assessed in order to correlate with the AIE-related fluorescence behaviour. Abstract-2 Tetraphenylthiophene (TP) with aggregation-enhanced emission (AEE) property was used as terminal fluorophore of the water-soluble poly(γ-propargyl-L-glutamate) (PPLG)-based polymers of TP-iPPLGs to probe the relationship between the secondary structure (α-helix) of polypeptides and the AEE-related emission behavior. Intermolecular aggregation of the terminal TP unit in TP-iPPLG is sterically blocked by the large α-helical PPLG chains, leading to the weak AEE-related fluorescence in water. In contrast, the intermolecular approach between the terminal TP units of TP-iPPLG is accessible if TP was connected by peptide chin in random coil structure. Therefore, helix-to-coil transition induced in the alkaline aqueous solution successfully enhances the emission intensity of the TP-iPPLG solution. The pH-induced conformation change in relationship to the AEE-related emission behavior is therefore evaluated in this study.

In this study, we successfully synthesized a small molecules with tetraphenylethylene as the basic structure and the correspounding polymer. Two methods were tested when small molecules was synthesized. The product synthesized by McMurry reaction found to be a good method for the synthesis of small molecules. The molecules were polymerized to obtain the corresponding macromolecule materials. Then, the absorption spectra, fluorescence spectra, aggregation-induced emission effect and quantum yield were measured, respectively. The results showed that the absorption and fluorescence peaks of polymer were bathochromic shifted as conjugation chain was increased. The size of the polymer gradually increased with the increasing of the water fraction of solvent and begins to decrease after the water fraction reach 70% water percentage. The result agrees with the fact that the smaller size particle favor closer packing of polymer molecules and showed brighter fluorescence. In the polymer systems, the intramolecular rotations of the phenyl rotors are already partly restricted at molecular level due to the steric effect of polymer chains. Finally, the thermal stability was measured, the Td was 380℃, and the polymer showed nice thermal stability.

Luminescent materials with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties have attracted many people's interest in recent years due to their application in, optoelectronic components, fluorescent probes, chemical sensor, and biosensor. Tetraphenylethene (TPE) is a compound that often used to investigate luminescence properties with significant AIE. In this study, TPE derivatives 9, 14, 15, 16, 18a-d with tetra-substituted structure were successfully synthesized, and their absorption spectra, fluorescence spectra, aggregation-induced luminescence, liquid fluorescence quantum yield and electrochemical properties were studied. Based on the red-shift of absorption and fluorescence spectra for compounds 14, and 15, the conjugation growth was observed. In the aggregation-induced emission test, it was found that the fluorescence intensity increased with decrease of the solution solubility, and red-shift of fluorescence occurred. The compound 14, with Tetramethyl silane (TMS) substituents, showed the highest fluorescence quantum yield (56.7%). Moreover, different alkyl chains led to different fluorescence quantum yield. The oxidation potential of the compounds was determined by cyclic voltammetry and the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) was estimated. The thermal decomposition temperatures of the compounds were above 300oC revealing good thermal stability.

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) have been widely uesd and developed, such as biotechnology, chemical technology, electrochromic, organic light-emitting diodes, and others. In this work, a AIE-active tetraphenylethylene derivative consist of long carbon chain and bromo group have been successfully synthesized. This compound only faintly emit in solution but show strong emission in aggregated state. The photoluminescence progressively increases during increasing the water content. In the THF/water mixture with 90 % water, the photoluminescence intensity is about 16 times increased if compared to pure THF. On the other hand, we observed that the particles are aggregated in the THF/water mixture with 60 % water. This result can be provided to associate with AIE-active.

In chapter 1, tetraphenylthiophenen (TP) with aggregation-emission enhancement (AEE) property is served as terminal fluorophore of poly (acrylic acid) (PAA) based polymer of TP-PAA by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and hydrolysis reaction to probe the relationship between pH-induced conformation change and the AEE-related emission behavior, and the detection of the bovine serum albumin (BSA) model protein. Intermolecular aggregation of the terminal TP unit in TP-PAA is sterically blocked due to the carboxyl groups of the poly (acrylic acid) were involved in H-bonding, leading to the weak AEE-related fluorescence in the neutral aqueous solution. In contrast, the carboxyl group of the poly (acrylic acid) become deprotonated, leading to a strong electrostatic force limiting the hydrogen bonding and results in the terminal TP units in TP-PAA can easily approach each other to form aggregates with strong the emission intensity in the alkaline aqueous solution; The water-soluble TP-PAA were blended with BSA forming complexes due to hydrophobic interactions shows a sensitive and selective fluorescence enhancement property for protein detection. In chapter 2, as restricted intramolecular rotation (RIR) is the key leading to the aggregation-enhanced emission (AEE) property. We propose that luminogenic unit connecting polymer chains is particularly clumsy in rotation in considering that the bulky polymer chains are effective in hampering the rotational freedom of the luminogenic unit connecting to them. To test this idea, we synthesized tetraphenylthiophenen (TP) with aggregation-emission enhancement (AEE) property is served as central fluorophores of sodium polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) based polymer of TP-PSS. We used PL spectroscopy to study AEE phenomena for TP-PSS in solution/solid state and solvent/nonsolvent pair, respectively; we can use the sulfonate side groups of TP-PSS characteristics containing short-range interactions and ion exchange to detect pH value and remove calcium to achieve water softing.

Electrospinning (ES) is a simple and versatile method for manufacturing continuous nanofibers. ES nanofibers with their large surface-to-volume ratio are widely used for various applications. In this study, novel fluorescent ES nanofibers are successfully prepared from random copolymers of poly(NIPAAm-co-NMA-co-(PPS-HEMA)) through free radical polymerization and followed by electrospinning for optical applications. PNIPAAm segments with thermo-responsive properties exhibit a hydrophilic-hydrophobic change as the temperatures varied. PNMA segments with chemically cross-linking moiety stabilize the morphology of nanofibers in the solution after thermal cross-linking. PPS-HEMA segments with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) phenomenon show much weaker emission in a good organic solvent. Upon aggregate formation, the emission of these AIE dyes is induced to increase by the effect of the restricted intramolecular rotation. The morphology of nanofibers before/after cross-linking were observed by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM). The high surface-to-volume ratio of ES nanofibers enhanced the sensitivity compared with that of spin-coating film. Furthermore, the optical measurements of ES nanofibers were reusable for several times.

In this study, we have synthesized a series of peptide-based low molecular weight hydrogelators. This thesis has two-fold part. In the first part, a new class of organic hydrogelators are developed. These three-dimensional hydrogels contain nanofibrous structures with average widths of ca. 10-12 nm, which prepared via self-assembly of small molecules (PFB-dipeptides) in water. The PFB-dipeptide is weakly fluorescent in solution, but the intensity is increased by almost ~200-fold in the assemblies. The aggregation-induced emission (AIE) in the PFB-dipeptide nanostructures is unusual because there is no AIE-capped moiety in the molecule. The origin of the unusual AIE character is attributed to the side chain steric and hydrophobic effects of amino acids in the structure of PFB-dipeptides and the presence of intermolecular J-type quadruple-quadruple interactions of perfluoropheny-phenyl pairs between the PFB-dipeptides in the assemblies. This work illustrates the importance of the structure-property relationship on the development of new nanoscience and self-assembly nanomaterials. In the second part, a new series of self-assembled peptide nanostructures based on naphthalimide were synthesized and studied, the materials have significant differences in their fluorescence intensity, which have a higher emission peak at acidic conditions. Cell imaging was observed small spherical organelles (lysosomes) in live human prostate cancer PC-3 cell line and significant colocalizations (84.14 ± 2.99 %) of the sensor ppNI-FDGEA with a commercial available Lysotracker Red DND-99 probe by confocal fluorescence microscopy. This design template may also be used to synthesize other functional peptide sequences with potential applications in tissue engineering.

In this study, organic and polymeric fluorophores based on 2,4,6-triphenylpyridiene (TPP) structure were found to have the novel aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) property. For the small-mass fluorophores, TPP and cyano-functionalized TPP (TPP-CN) were prepared from the facile Chichibabin reaction and their AIEE properties were characterized by the emission behavior in solvent/nonsolvent pair. Solid samples of TPP and TPP-CN exhibit enhanced emission with increasing annealing time under solvent vapors, thus, both compounds have the characters of crystallization-induced emission enhancement (CIEE) behavior. For polymeric system, copolymers PTPPF containing alternative TPP and 9,9-dioctylfluorene units were prepared through Suzuki coupling and study on its fluorescence behavior also reveals its AIEE feature. The rigid polymer possesses high emission intensity in its dilute solution state and remains almost unchanged with increasing nonsolvent fraction. The solid sample was found to have a high quantum yield (ФF) of 70 %.

In this study, we synthesized a serious of fluorophore with various donor and acceptor substituents. The longer emission wavelength fluorophore can be adjusted by molecular design which nonplanar conjugated structure could restrict intramolecular rotation in solid state. Moreover, aggregation-induced emission phenomenon will be found in nonplanar conjugated structure. On the other hand, we added dicyano-substituented with dithiophene fluorophore to test their aggregation-induced emission behavior. In addition, the thermal properties and the energy level of HOMO and LUMO were estimated by thermogravimetric analyzer, differential scanning calorimeter, cyclic voltammetry, and low-energy photoelectron spectrometer, respectively. Finally, the density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory to imitate the orbital and energy levels of HOMO and LUMO.

Traditional organic chromophores and polymers with disc-like, coplanar geometry tend to be highly emissive in the dilute solutions but become weakly luminescent in the concentrated solution and solid states. On the contrast, conventional chromophores (such as silole) with non-coplanar structure exhibit strong fluorescence in the concentrated states due to the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) or AIE enhancement (AIEE) effect originated from the restricted intramolecular rotation (RIR) inherent from the chemical structures of the luminescent materials. To verify the influence of RIR on the AIEE properties, four approaches were attempted in this research. First, copolymers PFN with alternative fluorene-naphthol unit was prepared through facile Suzuki coupling and was characterized to have AIEE properties due to the hydrogen-bond (H-bond) interactions among the inherent hydroxyl (OH) groups of the naphthol units. The H-bond interactions of PFN copolymer effectively restrict the molecular rotations and experimental variables (such as increasing solution concentration, introducing non-solvent water to solution, cooling and applying shearing forces during solvent evaporation stage etc.) effective in promoting the H-bond interactions result in the emission enhancement. Second, the fluorescent PFN was blended with poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVR) through facile hydrogen-bond (H-bond) interactions. By the effective H-bond interactions between the OH groups of PFN and the carbonyl functions of PVR. The molecular rotations of PFN can be effectively locked by large amounts of carbonyl groups in PVR. With the efficient H-bond interactions, the PFN/PVR blend with the low content (2.33 wt%) of fluorescent PFN component actually has a high quantum efficiency of 0.93, comparatively higher than other blends containing higher fluorescent PFN. Third, novel vinyl polymer PTP with pendant AIE-effective tetraphenylthiophene (TP) group was prepared through radical polymerization. The resultant PTP polymer exhibits two discernible emission bands corresponding to monomer and aggregate emissions, respectively. The relative monomer to aggregate emission intensity of the PTP polymer in either the solution or the solid state depends strongly on the extent of aggregations. Increasing solution concentration results in the increasing extent of aggregation and the increasing aggregate/monomer emission ratio and also, the large emission enhancement due to the AIEE effect. Finally, the TP-derived ammonium (TP-NH3+) cations are complexed with poly(sodium vinylsulfonate) (PSV) polyanion to generate ionic PSV-TP(x/y) systems with long-range electrostatic interactions between the cationic ammonium of TP-NH3+ and the polyanion of PSV. The fluorophoric TP units are associated with each other to form large aggregate domains stabilized by the long-range interactions. Introduction of water into dilute solution of PSV-TP in THF resulted in self-aggregated nanoparticles and the accompanied emission enhancement due to AIEE effect. Introduction of excess PSV polyanions promoted the self-aggregation of the TP fluorophores and resulted in the fluorescence enhancement. Nevertheless, addition of NaCl electrolytes causes the dissociations of the TP aggregates and the corresponding emission reduction. By controlling the additive, the blended PSV-TP film containing excess PSV has a high quantum yield of ΦF = 0.83. In addition, the ionic PSV-TP complex film possesses high spectral stability without spectral variations after annealing at a high temperature of 270 oC.

In Chapter 1, Because restricted molecular rotation is the main mechanism responsible for the aggregation-induced emission (AIE), a Jeffamine-included polyrotaxane (JCD) was therefore used in this study as rigid template to impose effective rotational restriction on the AIE-active luminogen of 1,2-bis(2,4-dihydroxybenzylidene)hydrazine (CN4OH). Besides rigidifying the flexible Jeffamine chain, the β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) rings of JCD also provided hydroxyl (OH) groups to hydrogen bond to the OHs of CN4OH, furnishing emissive CN4OH/JCD(x/y) (x/y: molar ratio between CN4OH and JCD) blends with emission efficiency higher than the pure CN4OH itself. Dependent on the composition of the blends, CN4OHs in the blends are arrayed differently to experience varied levels of rotational restriction and thus emit with an intensity correlated with molecular arrangement of the CN4OHs in the blends. The relationship between molecular arrangement, restricted molecular rotation and AIE-oriented emission behavior is the focus of this study. In Chapter 2, 3,4-diphenyl-2,5-bis(4-styryl)thiophene(TP2S)with AEE property showed 2,5-diphenylethene arms emission and tetraphenylthiophene (TP) center emission. β-CD were used as host molecule to encapsulate TP2S and showed an enhanced center emission and a decreased arm emission. Due to the rotational restriction, the TP2S/CD(x/y) (x/y: molar ratio between TP2S and β-CD)complex with emission intensity higher than the pure TP2S. In order to hinder TP2S slip out from β-CD, polymeric PS was used as template to grip the encapsulated TP2Ss through the π-π interactions of the aromatic phenyl rings in TP2S and in PS.When bind to PS, TP2S/CD/PS blends with higher emission intensity than the TP2S/CD complex.

Abstract:
In the last few years, considerable efforts have been given to develop sensitive and effective sensors for explosive materials and to generate systems which exhibit high luminescence in both solution and solid-state. The increasing number of terrorist activities around the world have prompted scientists to design effective ways to detect and disarm even the trace amount of explosives. The nitroaromatics (NACs) are the common constituents of most of the explosives due to high explosive velocity and ease of availability. The NACs were extensively used as the main constituents in landmines until World War II. Apart from their explosive behavior, the NACs are well-known environmental pollutants. The industrial waste and the leakages from unexploded landmines are the major contributors towards the soil and ground water contamination.
Presently for effective detection of trace amount of explosives, skilled canines and metal based detectors are commonly used. The canines are trained for a specific type of explosives which limit their ability to detect different types of substrates.
The chemical sensors that work on the principle of colorimetric and/or fluorimetric detection techniques have emerged as suitable alternative due to cheap production cost, portability and sensitivity. Different types of materials including conjugated polymers, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and quantum-dots have been reported as efficient chemosensors for NACs. However, poor solubility in the common organic solvents, low solid-state fluorescence, very high molecular weight and lack of signal amplification have restricted the application of these material for in-field testing. Renewed interests have been invested in small molecule based systems; and metal-organic discrete molecular architectures due to precise control over their photophysical properties and the supramolecular interaction among neighboring molecules that facilitates energy migration among the molecular backbone.
On the other hand, recently post-synthetic modification of different molecular systems including MOFs and polymers has emerged as a potential technique to incorporate desired functional groups into the system and to tune their properties with the retention of basic structures. Reports on the post-synthetic modification of discrete metal-organic architectures are rare due to the delicate nature of the metal-organic bonds that ruptures on mild environmental changes.
Therefore, post-synthetic functionalization of discrete molecular systems using mild reaction conditions will open up a myriad of possibilities to generate new systems with desired characteristics.
Chapter 1 of the thesis will briefly discuss the history of different explosive materials including different detection methodologies that are widely used. It will also include a brief discussion on different small molecular systems with high solid-state luminescence.
In Chapter 2, design and synthesis of triphenylamine-based two Platinum(Pt)(II) molecules functionalized with carboxylic acid and ester groups including their organic analogues have been discussed. The triphenylamine core was chosen due its unique non-planarity and luminescence. On the other hand, Pt(II) center was incorporated to increase intermolecular spacing in solid-state that can induce high luminescence.

All the four molecules were found to be highly sensitive towards NACs including picric acid and dinitrophenol. Although the molecules exhibited similar sensitivity in solution, the carboxylic acid analogues demonstrated superior sensitivity in solid-state. Careful observation of the crystal structures of the systems revealed the acid analogues were oriented in a 2-D grid-like pattern that facilitated energy migration among neighboring molecules (Scheme 1.).
Chapter 3 describes design, synthesis, and NACs sensing behavior of anthracene-based four purely organic small molecules.
The molecules exhibited high selectivity towards picric acid only. All the molecules were found to be highly emissive in both solution and solid-state due to the vinylanthracene backbone (Scheme 2.).

Chapter 4 discusses the strategy to develop mechano-fluorochromic and AIE active triphenylamine-based Pt(II) complex and its organic analogue. The twisted triphenylamine backbone restricted molecular close packing in solid-state; and weak C-H-- interactions were utilized to hinder the motion of the phenyl rings. As a result, the molecules were highly emissive in solid-state. Grinding disrupted the intermolecular interactions and thus mechano-fluorochromic behavior was observed. Due to twisted backbone, the molecules were also found to be AIE active. Both the systems containing terminal aldehyde groups were finally utilized for selective detection of biomolecule cysteine (Scheme 3.).

In Chapter 5 vinylanthracene-based linear donor was used in combination with carbazole-based 90° and triphenylamine-based 120° Pt(II) acceptors to generate (4+4) and (6+6) molecular squares and hexagons, respectively. The vinylanthracene backbone imparts high solution and solid-state luminescence to the system as well as made them AIE active. The molecules were further investigated for the solution and solid-state sensing for NACs and found to be effective for trinitrotoluene (TNT) and dinitrotoluene (DNT) (Scheme 4.).
Scheme 4. Schematic representation of AIE active molecular square and its NACs sensing.
Chapter 6 describes the formation of Pd3 self-assembled molecular trinuclear barrels containing triphenylamine imidazole donors and Pd(II) acceptors. Using Knoevenagel condensation the aldehyde group present in the barrel was post-synthetically functionalized with Meldrum’s acid. From spectroscopic characterization, it was proved that the structural integrity remained intact after the post-modification treatment (Scheme 6.). Surprisingly, pre-synthetic modification of the donor alone with Meldrum’s acid followed by self-assembly treatment with the Pd(II) ion did not yield trigonal barrel 6.8.

Recently, research of molecules behavior gradually matured, further controlling strength or weakness of molecular interaction, which is the origin of self assembly materials. The first part in my study, we discussed the effect of changing alkyl chain length on naphthalene diimide (NDI) to dipeptide self assembly. We chose methylamine、ethylamine、n-propylamine、n-butylamine and n-octylamine to be the aliphatic chain length on naphthalene diimide, connecting tyrosine and phenylalanine as peptide sequence to improve the value of application. In addition, we discovered different physical properties by chaning alkyl chain length. Carbon chains length affected critical gelation pH. As the length was decreased, the critical pH value changed from higher to lower. Minimum gelation concentration (MGC) increased with the chain decrease of carbon length. Sol-gel transition temperature and storage modulus (G’) on rheology increased as carbon chains increasing. In photo-luminescence (PL), fluorescence intensity decreased with increasing concentration and happened red shift. This demonstrated aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) properties. In the second part, we synthesized biofunctional peptid sequence conjugated with tetraphenylethene (TPE) to produce aggregation-induced emission (AIE). We selected DGEA and RGD as biological sequence. 1 wt% TPE-GDGEA could’t form hydrogel but formed hydrogel at 3 wt% under acidic environment. 1 wt% TPE-FDGEA formed hydrogel under acdic environment and hydrogel at 3 wt% was formed under neutral environment. 3 wt% TPE-FDGEA has the hightest on sol-gel transition temperature and rheology. The structure of 3 wt% TPE-GDGEA hydrogel present naroribbons while TPE-GDGEA hydrogels under and all concentraitons including TPE-FDGEA were nanofibers. For biological experiments, 3 wt% TPE-FDGEA was better than TPE-GDGEA, because 3 wt%TPE-FDGEA could form hydrogel under netural environment. In order to investigate the difference between RGD and RGE, we also synthesized TPE-FRGD and TPE-FRGE. The both 1 wt% TPE-FRGD and 1 wt% TPE-FRGE formed hydrogel under acidic environment, while TPE-FRGD on sol-gel transition temperature and rheology was higher than TPE-FRGE and their structure present nanofibers.In addition, water fraction experiment indicated the both TPE-FRGD and TPE-FRGE displayed the AIE properties. On biological experiments, the both could enter into cells and performed fluorescence. In the future, the two TPE derivatives develop a prospective and novel materals with applying in the field of health and medicine.

Sudhakar, Pagidi. "Rational Design Facile Synthesis of Boryl Anilines : Intriguing Aggregation Induced Emission and External Stimuli Responsive Properties." Thesis, 2015. http://etd.iisc.ac.in/handle/2005/3884.
Abstract:
The main thrust of this thesis is the development of facile synthetic routes for simple boryl anilines and study their structure-property correlations in both solid and solution states and to utilize this information to design functional materials with desired properties such as aggregation induced emission, mechanofluorochromism, and thiol sensors. This thesis contains eight chapters and the contents of each chapter are described below.
Chapter 1
The first chapter is an introduction to the theme of the thesis and presents a general review on the present work with emphasis on photophysics of triarylboron based donor-acceptor systems and their applications in various fields. In addition, advances in boron chemistry in the new frontier areas such as aggregation induced emission and mechanochromism are discussed in brief.
Chapter 2
The second chapter deals with the general experimental techniques and synthetic procedures utilized in this work.
Chapter 3
This chapter describes the rational design and synthesis of triarylborane bearing Unsubstituted amines, namely borylanilines (3.1-3.5). Compounds 3.1-3.4have similar donor and acceptor centres but differ their molecular conformations and also differ in the relative positions of amine moiety (para and meta). Compounds 3.1-3.4 contain one amine group while 3.5 contains two amine moieties. These compounds exhibit fascinating electrostatic intermolecular interactions, N −H- - -π in the crystal structure of 3.1, 3.2 and 3.4 and N −H--N interactions in crystal structure of 3.5. The solution state optical properties of 3.1-3.5 are typical of donor-acceptor (D-A) systems. Interestingly, compounds 3.3 and 3.5 showed unprecedented mechanochromic luminescent properties. Upon grinding, compound 3.3 showed color changes from blue to cyan blue and 3.5 showed intriguing color changes from blue to green and these color changes were found to be reversible. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of 3.5BP (blue emission color crystal) and 3.5GP (green emission color crystal) clearly show that the color changes are due to the difference in their solid state packing.
Chapter 4
In chapter 4, the design and facile synthesis of boron based donor-acceptor (D-A) systems such as borylanilines 4.4-4.9 (D= -NH2 for 4.4-4.6 and -NMe2 for compounds 4.7-4.9) are reported. Compounds 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 contain one, two or three -NH2 moiety(ies), respectively. Compounds 4.7, 4.8 and 4.9 contain one, two or three –NMe2 moiety(ies), respectively. A systematic investigation has been carried out to rationalize the effect of donor-acceptor ratio on the ICT process in borylanilines 4.4-4.9. The aryl spacer between donor amine and acceptor boron is kept the same in all the compounds to avoid the electronic effect of spacer on the ICT characteristics of these compounds. In the case of compounds 4.4-4.6, the increase in the number of donor -NH2 moieties does not affect their absorption profile, while in the case of compounds 4.7-4.9, the absorption spectra are shifted bathochromically with an increase in the number of donor-NMe2 moieties. Photoluminescence (PL) of 4.4-4.6 is significantly blue shifted with an increase in number of –NH2 moieties, while the PL of 4.7-4.9 was slightly blue shifted. The absorption and PL features of 4.4-4.6 are sensitive to the polarity of the solvent medium. In contrast, absorption profiles of 4.7-4.9 are not sensitive to the polarity of the solvent medium. The PL of these compounds is affected by the polarity of the solvent medium.
Chapter 5
This chapter deals with triarylboron based fluorescent probes (5.1-5.4) for the selective detection of thiophenols over aliphatic thiols. The probes were constructed by conjugating luminescent borylanilinies with luminescent quencher 2,4-dinitrobenzene sulfonyl (DNBS) moiety. In compound 5.1 and 5.2 the DNBS moiety is positioned at the para position with respect to the triarylborane moiety, while in 5.3 and 5.4 the DNBS moiety(ies) is(are) at the meta position(s). Probes 5.1-5.4 showed selective turn-on fluorescence response towards thiophenol. The fluorescence “off-on” switching mechanism of 5.1-5.4 against thiophenols was fully elucidated by theoretical calculations. Probes 5.1-5.4 are also capable of detecting thiophenols in the intra cellular environments.
Chapter 6
Design, facile synthesis and aggregation induced emission properties of a new series of novel triarylboron tethered N-aryl-1,8-naphthalimides (TAB-NPIs) 6.1-6.7 are described in this chapter. Systematic structural perturbation has been used for fine-tuning the optical and morphological properties of TAB- NPIs in both solid as well as in aggregated state. Compounds 6.1-6.7 are weekly luminescent in solutions. In contrast, all compounds (except compound 6.4) are strongly luminescent in the solid state and aggregated state in THF-H2O mixtures. The presence of sterically hindered boryl unit in 6.1-6.7 has endowed these molecules with unique AIE characteristics by preventing co-facial arrangements of NPI moieties. The propeller shape arrangement of TAB moiety in 6.1, 6.2, 6.5, 6.6 and 6.7 effectively prevents the aggregation induced emission quenching (AIEQ) and induce strong emission in the condensed state. In the solid state, compounds 6.1, 6.4, 6.5, and 6.6 generate an interesting supramolecular structure via intermolecular C-H--- and C-H---O interactions. No face to face intermolecular π---π interactions were found in the crystal structures of 6.1, 6.4, 6.5, and 6.6. This precludes the excimer formation which can be detrimental to the radiative process in these molecules. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of as prepared samples of 6.1-6.7 clearly indicate that the morphology of these compounds strongly depends on the molecular conformations and number of naphthalimide moieties in the TAB-NPI conjugates.
Chapter 7
This chapter deals with design, synthesis and optical properties of novel dimesitylboryl appended perylenediimides. A simple synthetic strategy has been developed for the construction of novel TAB-PDIs conjugates. These conjugates can be conveniently synthesised by condensation of boryl anilines with perylene tetracarboxylic acid anhydride. The incorporation of TAB moiety enhanced the solubility of perylen bisimides in common organic solvents. The PL quantum yield of both 7.1 and 7.2 strongly depends on the excitation wavelength. Lower Pl efficiency observed for 7.1 and 7.2 upon excitation in the boryl dominated absorption region may be due to the photon induced electron transfer form mesityl units of boryl to perylene bisimide moiety. The morphology as well as emission colours of supramolecular architectures of both 7.1 and 7.2 can be modulated by controlling the concentrations of DCM solutions of these compounds. Both the compounds showed selective fluorogenic response for F-1 and CN-1
anions. The simple synthetic strategy reported in this chapter can be conveniently exploited for the construction of TAB conjugates of semiconducting organic anhydrides.
Chapter 8
Novel planar chiral Lewis acids 8.3(SP, SS), 1-phosphino-2-borylferrocenes 8.4(SP) and 2-phosphino-1-borylferrocenes 8.4(RP) have been synthesized from a readily accessible ferrocene sulphinate precursor. Adopting a simple synthetic approach and a single precursor, enantiomerically pure SP and RP isomers have been prepared. It would be worthwhile to investigate the catalytic properties of compounds 8.3(SS), 8.4(SP) and 8.4(RP). It would also be interesting to replace the mesityl groups on boron with other electron deficient groups like pentafluorophenyl and 1,3,5-trifluoromethylphenyl to fine tune the Lewis acidity of boron center and to set-up a general route to enantiomerically pure Planar Chiral Frustrated Lewis Pairs (PCFLP’s).

Sudhakar, Pagidi. "Rational Design Facile Synthesis of Boryl Anilines : Intriguing Aggregation Induced Emission and External Stimuli Responsive Properties." Thesis, 2015. http://etd.iisc.ernet.in/2005/3884.
Abstract:
The main thrust of this thesis is the development of facile synthetic routes for simple boryl anilines and study their structure-property correlations in both solid and solution states and to utilize this information to design functional materials with desired properties such as aggregation induced emission, mechanofluorochromism, and thiol sensors. This thesis contains eight chapters and the contents of each chapter are described below.
Chapter 1
The first chapter is an introduction to the theme of the thesis and presents a general review on the present work with emphasis on photophysics of triarylboron based donor-acceptor systems and their applications in various fields. In addition, advances in boron chemistry in the new frontier areas such as aggregation induced emission and mechanochromism are discussed in brief.
Chapter 2
The second chapter deals with the general experimental techniques and synthetic procedures utilized in this work.
Chapter 3
This chapter describes the rational design and synthesis of triarylborane bearing Unsubstituted amines, namely borylanilines (3.1-3.5). Compounds 3.1-3.4have similar donor and acceptor centres but differ their molecular conformations and also differ in the relative positions of amine moiety (para and meta). Compounds 3.1-3.4 contain one amine group while 3.5 contains two amine moieties. These compounds exhibit fascinating electrostatic intermolecular interactions, N −H- - -π in the crystal structure of 3.1, 3.2 and 3.4 and N −H--N interactions in crystal structure of 3.5. The solution state optical properties of 3.1-3.5 are typical of donor-acceptor (D-A) systems. Interestingly, compounds 3.3 and 3.5 showed unprecedented mechanochromic luminescent properties. Upon grinding, compound 3.3 showed color changes from blue to cyan blue and 3.5 showed intriguing color changes from blue to green and these color changes were found to be reversible. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of 3.5BP (blue emission color crystal) and 3.5GP (green emission color crystal) clearly show that the color changes are due to the difference in their solid state packing.
Chapter 4
In chapter 4, the design and facile synthesis of boron based donor-acceptor (D-A) systems such as borylanilines 4.4-4.9 (D= -NH2 for 4.4-4.6 and -NMe2 for compounds 4.7-4.9) are reported. Compounds 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 contain one, two or three -NH2 moiety(ies), respectively. Compounds 4.7, 4.8 and 4.9 contain one, two or three –NMe2 moiety(ies), respectively. A systematic investigation has been carried out to rationalize the effect of donor-acceptor ratio on the ICT process in borylanilines 4.4-4.9. The aryl spacer between donor amine and acceptor boron is kept the same in all the compounds to avoid the electronic effect of spacer on the ICT characteristics of these compounds. In the case of compounds 4.4-4.6, the increase in the number of donor -NH2 moieties does not affect their absorption profile, while in the case of compounds 4.7-4.9, the absorption spectra are shifted bathochromically with an increase in the number of donor-NMe2 moieties. Photoluminescence (PL) of 4.4-4.6 is significantly blue shifted with an increase in number of –NH2 moieties, while the PL of 4.7-4.9 was slightly blue shifted. The absorption and PL features of 4.4-4.6 are sensitive to the polarity of the solvent medium. In contrast, absorption profiles of 4.7-4.9 are not sensitive to the polarity of the solvent medium. The PL of these compounds is affected by the polarity of the solvent medium.
Chapter 5
This chapter deals with triarylboron based fluorescent probes (5.1-5.4) for the selective detection of thiophenols over aliphatic thiols. The probes were constructed by conjugating luminescent borylanilinies with luminescent quencher 2,4-dinitrobenzene sulfonyl (DNBS) moiety. In compound 5.1 and 5.2 the DNBS moiety is positioned at the para position with respect to the triarylborane moiety, while in 5.3 and 5.4 the DNBS moiety(ies) is(are) at the meta position(s). Probes 5.1-5.4 showed selective turn-on fluorescence response towards thiophenol. The fluorescence “off-on” switching mechanism of 5.1-5.4 against thiophenols was fully elucidated by theoretical calculations. Probes 5.1-5.4 are also capable of detecting thiophenols in the intra cellular environments.

A novel fluorescent sensor PySb comprising of pyrene moiety as the fluorophore, benzene ring as the spacer, and 2-(hydroxymethyl)propane-1,3-diol as the ionophore was synthesized. PySb itself exhibited weak fluorescence due to photoinduced electron transfer (PET). It can serve as a highly selective and sensitive fluorescent ‘turn on’ sensor toward (a) Zn2+ in ethanol solution (λem = 470 nm) and (b) Al3+ in DMSO solution (λem = 458 nm). The complexes of PySb-Zn2+ and PySb-Al3+ were further supported by 1H NMR spectra. The 1:2 stoichiometry between PySb and Zn2+ was obtained from Job plot. Excellent detection limit toward Zn2+ (2.39×10-8 M) was derived from titration experiment. Similarly, the binding constant toward Zn2+ was estimated as 2×109 M-1 based on titration experiment. PySb-Zn2+ complex in DMF solution showed aggregation-induced emission enhancement with increasing content of ethanol (0-99%). It could be utilized as a fluorescent sensor in a wide range of pH (3-11). Green emission of PySb (λem = 515 nm) was observed when pH was higher than 12 due to intramolecular charge transfer (ICT).

TPE-gal for detecting β-galactosidase. β-galactosidase is a crucial biomarkerused to identify malignant tumorsand also associated with cell senescence.Compared to a normal ovarian cell, β-galactosidase in primary ovarian cancers cell is much higher. Therefore, the probe TPE-galconsists of tetraphenylethylene as a chromophore and two galactose groups as anenzyme-responsive moiety for β-galactosidase. Furthermore, two galactose moieties can greatly increase the solubility of the probe in water and prevent aggregation and emission. When β-galactosidase is detected, two galactosesin the probe was cut off to release a lower water-soluble chromophore, tetraphenylethylene, and causeaggregation induced emission. The fluorescent probe TPE-gal has shown high selectivity for detecting β-galactosidase and excellent biocompatibility to investigate endogenous β-galactosidase in the ovarian cancer cell, SKOV-3.

In this thesis, we designed and synthesized tetraphenylethene bridged biscalix[4]arene derivatives (E)-30, (Z)-30, (E)-31 and (Z)-31 by click reaction. Control compounds (E)-34 and (Z)-34 were also synthesized for comparison. We have previously reported a serendipitous discovery that triazole bridged biscalix[4]arenes form organogels in certain conditions. These compounds were tested and we found that only compound (E)-30 was able to form gel with fluorescent in certain solvents. The gelation properties and self-assembly morphologies of compound (E)-30 was further examined by SEM, Variable-temperature 1H-NMR, IR spectroscopy and SEM to gain insight into the possible packing model. In addition, because these derivatives incorporated with tetraphenylethene scaffold, we also investigated their aggregation induced emission behavior. We revealed that different water fraction was required to initiate the AIE effect of all compounds. At the same time, we observed that all compounds have a slight blue shift when the fraction of water increases. The morphologies of the aggregated compounds were also examined by SEM.

About half a century ago, Főrster and Kasper discovered that traditional organic chromophore such as pyrene was weakened with an increase in its solution concentration. It was soon recognized that this was a general phenomenon for many aromatic compounds. This concentration-quenching effect was found to be caused by the formation of sandwich-shaped (disc-like) excimers and exciplexes aided by the collisional interactions between the aromatic molecules in the excited and ground states. In 2001, Tang’group discovered such a system, in which luminogen aggregation played a constructive, instead of a destructive, role in the light-emitting process: a series of silole molecules were found to be non-luminescent in the solution state but emissive in the aggregated state. They coined the term ‘‘aggregation-induced emission’’ (AIE) or “AIE enhancement” (AIEE) for this novel phenomenon which originated from the restricted intramolecular rotation (RIR) inherent from the chemical structures of the luminescent materials. To verify the effect of molecular structure on the AIE properties of organic and polymeric materials, four approaches were attempted in this research. (I) Aggregation-Induced Emission in Tetraphenylthiophene-Derived Organic Molecules and Vinyl Polymer Organic molecules of tetraphenylthiophene (TP) and the derived model compound of TP-Qu and vinyl polymer of PS-Qu with the pendant group of TP-Qu were prepared and characterized to identify their photoluminescent responses toward the effect of AIE. During aggregate formation, the corresponding TP solutions greatly gained the emission intensity. In contrast, TP-Qu and PS-Qu in isolated or aggregated states emitted strongly with nearly the same emission intensity. RIR is the key factor deciding the AIE effect in different states. With four small phenyl rotors around the central thiophene stator, the RIR of the TP molecules in dilute solution is low but increases upon aggregate formations. In contrast, the bulky C-2 quinoline rotor of the TP-Qu molecule enhances the RIR in isolated state. With the inherent TP-Qu pendant groups, the emissive behavior of vinyl polymer PS-Qu is similar to the TP-Qu molecule. (II) Aggregation-Induced Emission Enhancement of Diblock Copolymer Containing Tetraphenylthiophene-Quinoline Pendant Fluorphores by Selective Solvent Pairs In this study, diblock copolymer of PSQu-PBS containing 25 mol% of fluorescent PSQu segments was synthesized and its aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) behavior was characterized and compared to PSQu homopolymer with 100 mol% of fluorescent units. With fewer (25 %) fluorescent units, solutions of diblock PSQu-PBS copolymer actually have higher (or comparable) emission intensities than the homopolymer PSQu solutions. Solutions of PSQu-PBS in THF/H2O of varied compositions emit essentially with the same intensity but in contrast, emissions of PSQu-PBS in THF/hexane increase with the increasing hexane content. Copolymer micelles formed in THF/hexane mixtures are supposed to have higher extent of aggregation, leading to more pronounced AIEE effect than micelles formed in THF/H2O. (III) Tetraphenylthiophene-Functionalized Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide): Probing LCST with Aggregation-Induced Emission A hydrophobic TP center with novel AIE property was chemically linked to two poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) chains to obtain thermoresponsive polymers to study the relationships between the lower critical solution transitions (LCSTs) and the AIE-operative fluorenscence emission. Three ethynyl-terminated PNIPAMs with different molecular weights were synthesized via controlled atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) using ethynyl-functionalized initiator. The PNIPAMs were then coupled with diazide-funtionalized TP (TPN3) via click reaction to obtain the desired TP-embedded polymers of Px (x = 1, 2, and 3). All three polymers show AIE-property from their solution fluorescence behavior in THF/hexane mixtures. In the aqueous solution, the TP-center served as a fluorogenic probe that reveals the LCSTs of polymers and its relation to the degree of TP labeling in terms of polymer concentration. The thermoresponsiveness of Px was demonstrated by the complete emission quench when heated at temperatures above LCST. Dissociation of the TP aggregates above LCST is responsible for the emission quench. (IV) Influence of Molecular Weight on the Aggregation-Induced Emission of Vinyl Polymers Containing the Fluorescent 2,4,6-Triphenylpyridine Pendant Groups Molecular weight effect on the AIEE property of vinyl polymers containing fluorescent 2,4,6-triphenylpyridine (TPP) pendant groups was evaluated in the fourth topic. The high and low Mw vinyl polymers of PDMPS–L and –H were prepared through Click chemistry between azide–TPP derivative and acetylene–functionalized polystyrenes. Solutions of the low Mw PDMPS–L exhibited the normal AIEE effect with continuous emission gains with increasing extent of aggregation upon nonsolvent inclusion. On the contrast, the high Mw PDMPS–H solutions emitted with constant intensity on all solutions with different extent of aggregation. Despite the varied solution behavior, the solid PDMPS-L and –H films are all strong deep-blue emitter with high quantum yields of 84 and 82.5%, respectively. The emission behavior was explained by the conformational difference between the PDMPS–L and –H chains, which were approached by computer simulation in this topic.
